The Circus is in Town!

Not sure how free a person could be , however this guy is really really free . So free that he has time to change his name to be the longest name ever! Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov . He could start joining the circus, after all he does have that half chewbacca - half gimli feature . Might be good for the wonderful world of Hollywood mysteries. Excellent for publisity too! Too bad he drives a bus or maybe.. he will start advertising himself with the longest name tag that flashes his name from his left to his right shoulder . Norway wont be so dull anymore thanks to mr chewbacca ..or mr higlander or mr macgyver or mr gimli or ... just call him anything or just with acronym JAGAMCHEJ .

Feel free to read the below news on his name , a bit of amusement for breakfast today :

Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov: Norway's Longest Name?

According to Norwegian site VG Nett, bus driver Andreas Jankov has formally changed his name to Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov. "I wanted to show that it is possible to be serious and at the same time take the name you like," said the film enthusiast. "I wanted to see how far I could take it with respect to the number of names. I started thinking about this three years ago and it was approved in January this year." Apparently, he's had his passport and bank card reissued, but the name was too long so he dropped "Highlander."

Thanks to our commenters, we've been able to break down the name:
-
Julius is an homage to the famous chimp at the Kristiansand Zoo- 'Arn' is a Swedish knight movie- Elessar and Gimli are from 'Lord of the Rings' - 'MacGyver', just the greatest Richard Dean Anderson show ever! - 'Highlander' could refer to either the movie or TV show- Chewbacka (aka Chewbacca) is from 'Star Wars'
So, When/If he gets married will he make his wife take his name?
